Just finalised and paid for my new turbo.

Now the waiting game begins. Should arrive on my doorstep in somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks time.

With paypals shitful exchange rate it ended up being just over $1700 delivered... Being different is expensive. Plus side, that's still about $600 cheaper than *any* local distributor could do for me.

soooooo today ends a week and a bit of fitting parts and getting the car tuned. Ran into plenty of issues along the way (injectors missing o-rings, z32 wiring was backwards, fuel lines backwards).

so after a long week some people to thank.

AM Performance; Custom dump pipe and intake. sounds sexual and clearly makes the power

Willall; If you have a modified car, specifically if it has a RB there is no other place i would take my car. They help troubleshoot the issues along the way and were a massive wealth of knowledge. The car drives fantastically, AFR's are beautifully done, makes great power (alot more than we were expecting). If you have a skyline, make sure you pay them a visit. world class workshop right on your doorstep, dont beleive me go and have a look. Chat to Martin and Gareth and im sure youll agree. Prices are more than reasonable too, youll be over the moon as i am.

Thankfully it's all over with now eh? I'm still laughing about your traction "issues" in all gears "laugh"

270rwkw steve :thumbsup:

Thats precisely what I'm running, could you either pm me ur setup or list it here? I'm keen to know what other gear people are running

Is there much overhead for more power or are u aiming for response? I am... tho it seems the N1's don't breathe as well as 2860-5's so I think thats what I'll put there once I do the bottom end (2 yrs time)

Sure you do.

With my new turbo I'm expecting response similar to a JDM S14 turbo and power getting pretty close to what Josh is currently making.

i dunno eh, these buggers spool from 3k and im getting 275kw/420nm torque at the wheels.... some fine tuning to the boost controller remains as well as cam gears but eh, its more than enough for a non-rambo daily driver like me

I'd like to compare his powercurve to mine. Single vs double with only 100cc engine capacity difference. Would be interesting...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
